•sick day• This little one spent her day with fever blazing after a night of puking. Left one tired Mama after holding her hand and watching her all night long. I know fevers are a good thing, but they shake me up every time. Thankfully she ended the day with a bite or two of dinner and a little more pep in her step. Hopefully it was a one day & done. 😷 ✨ #sickday #toddlersickday #toddlerlife #tistheseason #naptime #mamaneedsanap

•Reindeer• 2 year old: Hey Mama! Me: Yes? 2 (whispering): Say yes reindeer Me: Oh! Yes, Reindeer? 2: ....... (huge grin) 😂🦌🎄 ✨ And yes, that’s a rabbit ears headband in the background. Someone is really into headbands these days. ✨ #toddlerconversations #reindeer #itsthattimeofyear #2yearoldsarefunny

•Nearing the end• We have been living through a massive house renovation for 8 months now. It has turned our life upside down and there have been many days that I felt like I was barely hanging on by my fingernails. ✨ This weekend we were given the green light to move into 2 of the bedrooms upstairs + 1 bathroom. I’ve missed showering in my home so, so much. ✨ For weeks I’ve been saying that all I want for Christmas is my house back. Well today, it was like I was unwrapping a present as I pulled the paper off the brand new floors. I spent all day cleaning and vacuuming, moving furniture and setting things in their place. ✨ I took this one quiet moment to sit on my new floors and soak in the sun pouring in through the windows. I’m so excited to be close to home. 🏠 ✨ #renovations #thisoldhouse #alliwantforchristmas #livingthroughrenovations #arewethereyet #simplepleasures

•Hanukkah• Celebrating night six with friends. Latkes were eaten, many menorahs were lit, dreidels spun & spun. Oh, and chocolate coins for days. Thanks for it all @aarichshea 🕯 ✨ #happyhanukkah #hanukkah #8crazynights #dreidel #hanukkahcandles #celebratingwithfriends

•St Nicholas Day• When St Nick visits your Waldorf preschool and you’re super excited and maybe a little suspicious. 🍊 ✨ #saintnicholas #stnick #saintnicholasday #suspicious #kidsfaces #idontknowaboutthis #waldorf

•Countdown candle• This is one of our favorite holiday traditions. Every night around dinner we light the candle until it burns past that day’s number. And *every year*, at least once, I forget it for a minute and we burn the candle down too far. Tonight we burned down to 8 🤦🏻‍♀️ Every year. That goof is also become part of the tradition. 🕯 ✨ #countdown #countdowncandle #holidaytraditions #christmastraditions #oops #burnbabyburn #christmascandle

•renovation life• We have been living in renovation life for 8 months now. This has been our bedroom since we ran out of alternative free housing (nearly 4 months) ✨ A family of 5 sleeping in one room. 1 King size bed, 1 bunk bed, 1 crib. All smashed together without an ounce of breathing space in between them. Cozy? Perhaps, hygge, renovation style? ✨ This is actually my dining room (though it was also once a living room, I change rooms around a lot) ✨ My favorite part is the haphazard blankets and tapestries I’ve hung, as a money saving solution for a temporary window treatment so we’re not in a fishbowl as neighbors walk by. #urbanlife It screams college dorm room. Real classy. ✨ All I want for Christmas is bedrooms. With doors. Oh, and maybe a shower. Am I being too greedy? ✨ #renovationlife #survivingrenovations #reno #renovation #thisoldhouse #hygge #alliwantforchristmas #familyof5 #tinyhouse #privacy #ineedprivacy

•Advent• A little note stashed in each drawer with activities and surprises for each day leading up to the big one. Let the countdown begin! 🎄 ✨ #christmas #adventcalendar #countdowncalendar #thattimeofyear #christmastime #christmaswithkids

•focus• I swear, my 2 year old has been “snowing” her Christmas lace cards and listening to the Mary Poppins soundtrack for at least an hour now. This girl knows how to have a good time. 🙌 ✨ #2yearolds #lacecards #finemotorskills #homeschooling #selfdirectedlearning #toddler #marypoppins

•book nook• So excited for this sweet little corner. I plan to fill it with books and pillows. I’m quite certain it will be visited many times throughout the day. 📚❤️ ✨ #booknook #booknookstagram #books #myboys #cozy #hygge #renovations #thisoldhouse #renolife

•Friendsgiving• Friends like family. More delicious food, more pie, and enjoying the afternoon with our village. 💗 ✨ #friendsgiving #friendslikefamily #ittakesavillage #centerpiece #pie

•Thanksgiving• My dear friend, @ellsworthandsylvan created the most beautiful Thanksgiving. Thank you for welcoming us into your home with your lovely family. It was an afternoon of good food, company, and laughs. 💗🦃🍁 ✨ #thanksgiving #goodfood #goodcompany #lotsoflaughs #turkey #pumpkinpie #kidsthanksgiving
